THE Ben Fund Bonanza looks to be heading towards an end-of-season staging after efforts to find a suitable restaging date next month came to nothing.

The Bonanza suffered its first rain-off since its inception 10 years ago at Peterborough last month, and attempts were being made to slot the meeting back into the fixture list in May. But SRBF secretary Paul Ackroyd (pictured) said: “We did desperately try to reorganise the meeting which so many people had been looking forward to. We submitted a couple of possible dates but they clashed with domestic fixtures and we were unable to resolve this.“The bad weather since Easter and the consequent fixture chaos has just made it harder to find a suitable date for our meeting. We did want to include World Champion Jason Doyle in the meeting and Jason has been particularly helpful and supportive. “Another promoter had offered to stage the meeting in early May but again, there were clashes with existing fixtures. Our hope now is that the meeting will be at Peterborough in October. We will confirm this as soon as we can.”
